Guide for Planning and Implementing Emerging Airport Baggage Handling System Technologies

Baggage handling systems (BHS) at airports are experiencing a significant transformation in their development and operations. It is imperative that airports and stakeholders gain a comprehensive and unbiased understanding of how emerging technologies and software can be used to enhance the operations of BHS, with a particular focus on planning, facility design, infrastructure, and cyber security. Research is needed to help airport practitioners gain technical knowledge on emerging BHS technologies and software and deploy them effectively in BHS. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to provide airport practitioners with a primer, guide, case studies, and video to help evaluate and incorporate BHS technologies to meet their unique needs.
